NEW, SGARGE ARD RARE PLARTS

Leaves dark green and a bright crimson underneath; fine variety. Price 15 cents.
THE MOONFLOW ER-—-Ipomea Noctiphiton.

mee
SSS

This wonderful plant is justly becoming all the rage
S among the lovers of the curious and beautiful. It is a
rapid climber, and if planted out by a veranda or trellis
early in the season, by midsummer will begin to bloom,
and from thenee to the end of the season will furnish
a2 profusion of its handsome, large white blossoms, many
of them attaining a diameter of six inches. The flowers
open about six o’¢lock each evening, remain open all
night and until 10 or 11 o’clock the following day, when
. they wither.- It has the peculiar habit of opening its
blossoms suddenly; one minute there may be nothing but
buds to be seen, and ten minutes afterward the same
plant may have half a dozen blossoms wide open. The
flowers have a delightful fragrance. Price 20 cents.

THE CRUEL PLANT.

The Cruel Plant by midsummer is a mass of star-

a shaped white blossoms, one inch in diameter, and thence
till frost comes is a thing of beauty. The plant takes its name from the fact that myriads
of butterflies, moths, etc., that come to sip the honey from the flowers are held fast until
are dead by some trap-like arrangement in the center of the blossoms. The Cruel

Plant will thrive best if planted in the open'ground in a warm location. Price 20 cents.

STORM KIN G—Fuehsia.

This wonderful Fuchsia was seni out by a Philade!-
phia firm which could not propagate it fast enough to
supply the demand. It is the largest-flowered double
white Fuchsia yet sent out, and its extremely free
flowering qualities are simply phenomenal. Our stock
of plants is large and héalthy,'and this season we can
supply all ordinary demands. Price 15 cents: four for |
50 cents.

NEW FUCHSIA—Phenomenal.

Phenomenal, an entirely new Fuchsia, we believe
to be the largest flowering Fuchsia in existence; we
are assured that blossoms three inches across the corolla
have been grown on this variety. The corolla is of a
‘rich, velvety purple in color, very full and double: the
tube and sepals are crimson, the latter much reflexed.
We will supply them at 25 cents each. Two each of
the Storm King and Phenomenal Fuchsias mailed se-
curely packed, for 60 cents. :

IVY-LEAF GERANIUM.

VETERAN.—This is a decided novelty in the Ivy-leaf Geranium. It is a fiery
scarlet, of robust habits, very double and free flowering; the best yet introduced.
Price. 20 cents.

EDE MARCHI.—This, too, is a valuable acqisition, being very large and
double, of a bright rose color and large truss of flowers. Price 15 cents.

NEW DOUBLE GERANIUMS.
GLORIE DE FRANCE.—Undoubtedly the best of all the double geraniums, hav-
Ing a good constitution, large truss, very full flower and the most delicate coloring of any
of the family, being a variation of rose, pink and white combined, and will be highly
appreciated by all lovers of fine flowers. Price 25 cents.

JAMES VICK.—This is one of those delicate salmon colors so seldom found in
the geranium: large truss and very double; very fine. Price 20 cents.

Eifydrangu Variegata Hortensia.

An exceedingly ornamental plant, producing white timbel flowers in large clusters,
often a single plant measures over two inches in diameter. The leaves are a bright green,
broadly margined with pure white: simply magnificent. Price 25 cents.

New Chrysanthemums.

THORPE, Jr.—A most beautiful variety; the color is a rich, pure golden yellow; the
flowers are of large size, smooth and perfect in shape. Price 20 cents.

MONS. RAOUX.—A Japanese variety; the color isa rich amarath, dotted with white:
petals narrow and very much twisted. This is a very distinet variety. Price 20 cents.

CURIOSITY.—This is the nearest approach to a perpetual blooming Chrysanthemum
of any we have ever grown, as well as being the earliest. It produces scattering flowers all
through the summer season, and the last of September it is in its prime. The flowers are
white, occasionally streaked with carmine, and about one inch in diameter. Price 20 cents.

EDNA CRAIG.—This is an entirely new and distinct type, having flowers nearly six
inches in diameter, of the snowiest white; the petals are flat; the center is anemone formed,
pale yellow and pure white, three-quarters of an inch in diameter; sunk b elow the petals,
giving a very chaste expression to the flower; ot fine habit and free-flowering. Price 20 cts.

PRESIDENT ARTHUR.—A mammoth Japanese variety, six inches diameter, deli-
cate pink with creamy center. This variety attracted much attention in our collection last’
aatumn. Price 20 cents.

FABIAS DE MANDERAN 4Z.—A large, drooping-petaled, white anemone flowered
variety, with creamy center. Price 20 cents.

PATTI SING.—A curious Japanese Chrysanthemum, buff color, with quilled petals and
opencenter; very fine. Price 2) cents. The above elegant set of eight new Chrysan_
themums will be mailed for One Dollar.

PURITAN.—We think this is the finest Chrysanthemum yet introduced; with lovely,
very large and doable flowers, of white so delicately tinted with pink, in fact pen fails to-
portray this queen of beauties. Price 25 cents.

NEW BEGONTA—Louis Chatiain.

A plant of the Rex type, with leaves of a lustrous crimson hue, shaded with sea-shell
tints; a plant that would arrest the attention among a thousand. Grown by us last season
for the first time. This is the handsomest Begonia of its class. Price 25 cents.

NEW CLEMATITs—Jackmanii Alba.

This is a seedling of the well-known Clematis Jackmanni, (the most desirable of all the
dark colored varieties,) with which it is identical in every respect except color. A strong,
vigorous grower, perfectly hardy, and a most prolific bloomer; color, pure white; a grand
variety and one-that should not be overlooked by those seeking the best of this most beauti-
ful class of plants. Price $1.

PH TUNIA—-Mrs. G. Dawson Coleman.

Double White, beautifully fringed, large and full. 20 cents

BING OF LAWwWTANAS—Pluie ad’ Or.

This Lanta 1, though not a new one, is such a satisfactory plant to grow that we think it
merits a place Roe the ‘‘ scarce’ plants. The plant grows ina bushy, compact form, and
is perpetually a mass of golden-yellow blossoms. Most of Lantanas-are ill-shaped, ragged
growers, and the value of this variety can therefore be appreciated. Price 15 cents.

“ Chrysanthemums.

The chrysanthemum is rightly called the
“Queen of Autumn,” with its profusion of
blossoms, and endless variety of form and eol-
or. So great is the rage for this flower. in the
Kast, that nearly all towns have their annual
chrysanthemum shows, which, once witnessed,
are never to be forgotten. Our collection em-
braces the cream of the varieties now grown.
We have discarded the inferior and now grow
only those of Special merit. Chrysanthemums
are hardy, a very little protection sufficing to
keep them through the winter in fine condi-
tion. Asthey bloom in October and Novem-
ber, the blossoms should be protected on frosty
nights by some slight covering, to keep them at
their best until the blooming season is over; or
better still, where the housewife has the con-
veniences, lift the plants from the open ground
just as they begin to bloom, disturbing the
roots as little as possible, set them in boxes and
take them into the house, ina good light and
not too warm an.atmosphere. In this way one
can have a handsome display till Christmas.
Price of any one of the following varieties 10
cents, or 75 cents per dozen.

one of being perfectly hardy in the North,
which cannot be said of the Downing. Price
for one year old trees, $1.

Russian—A very hardy variety, valuable for
silk culture and the timber; as the trees are
raised from seed, they are inclined to sport in

fine berries, and others fruit that is almost
worthless. Price for 2 feet trees, 15c; $1 per 12.

necessary.
